Paddon was development testing the i20 Rally2 in Spain quite recently. I dont think the car is a bad as some think and certainly not on this rally evidence.

Bit of a schooling for the locals on this event! Behind Paddon, entertaining position battles and all impressively close though.

Drove back over the Hafod stage today and that looks like it could be a fun one, very different characters from today's stages with sections of bigger, wider roads.

Especially as the only car to beat him on a stage was the other Hyundai...

I suspect it's a commercial thing for Hyundai though, they don't see it as a big enough revenue generator for the effort/cost. Sad days though, C3s and Polos are already rare, soon may just be Skodas, Toyotas and Fords. Hopefully Stellantis keeps their hand in the Rally2 market a bit longer.

Gutted for Ingram, that was a strange crash.

Gotta say, been catching it on & off this weekend, first of all, beautiful Wales! Absolutely stunning, just the greenery is a joy to look at. The stages themselves seem quite nice & tricky…really hope it’ll be in the WRC until 2027.
Regarding Paddon, shame, real shame, one of those drivers that I think, what could’ve been…great driver, great to watch, nice character.. real shame we don’t see him driving in Rally1 Machinery.

I'm glad someone neutral said it. I can't help but think this is obvious, but I recognise the roads.

What a weird accident indeed! Something wrong with the brakes?

7 out of 7 stages won? What a knock out performance from Hayden Paddon! Franceschi has no chance...

Apologies. I didn't notice one stage was won by someone else. So it was 9 out of 10 for Paddon yesterday!
